Einfluß eines Anstrichsystems auf den Feuchtehaushalt von Fachwerkholz

Coatings used for half-timbered houses need to be investigated with regard to their hydrolitic qualities. In order to prevent a dangerous moistening of the wood, it is of utmost importance to know the water absorption as well as the water desorption through the coatin g system. This work reports about a method able to describe the interaction between water absorption and desorption on a representative dispersion system applied on different wood species. The wood species were chosen with respect to their occurence in half-timbered wooden constructions.
